Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of carbon black tail gas boiler technology, and in particular to a gravity self-cleaning environmentally friendly structure for carbon black tail gas boiler. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of my country's carbon black industry, the increasing demand for carbon black, and increasingly stringent environmental protection measures, the demand for carbon black tail gas boilers will continue to grow. In order to meet environmental protection requirements and increase the efficiency of enterprises, the gravity self-cleaning environmentally friendly structure of carbon black tail gas boilers is an important means for the carbon black boiler industry to solve problems such as blockage of the tail heating surface in the future.

[0003] Traditionally, low-temperature economizers in carbon black tail gas boilers use finned economizers, and air preheaters are vertical. After a period of operation, blockages occur in the economizer and air preheater tubes, severely impacting boiler operating time and efficiency. Blockages in the heating surfaces easily lead to corrosion and tube rupture, requiring frequent component replacements. Severe blockages necessitate increased blower and induced draft fan power, and in some cases, boiler shutdown for maintenance and high-pressure water jet cleaning, resulting in significant economic losses. The short replacement cycle and high cost of the tail-end heating surfaces, coupled with prolonged boiler shutdowns, reduce the company's economic efficiency. Therefore, adopting a gravity-driven self-cleaning environmentally friendly structure for carbon black tail gas boilers will be an effective solution to these problems in the future.

The connecting flue is inverted U-shaped. The low-temperature plate economizer and the air preheater are connected through the inverted U-shaped connecting flue to form relatively independent spaces. The low-temperature plate economizer adopts a plate-type bare tube structure, which includes multiple heat exchange units. Each heat exchange unit is composed of multiple rows of parallel serpentine tubes forming a tube screen. The tube screens are arranged in sequence and have a large pitch design, with a pitch of 100mm between the tube screens.

[0006] Preferably, the air preheater is a horizontal air preheater, the heat exchange tubes of the air preheater are arranged in parallel, and the heat exchange tubes are designed with a large pitch, with the pitch between the heat exchange tubes being 80-90mm.

[0007] Preferably, the lower part of the inverted U-shaped connecting flue is provided with a slag discharge port.

[0008] Preferably, the flue gas flowing through the low-temperature plate economizer is the flue gas after being denitrified by the SCR denitrification device.

[0009] Beneficial effects of this invention: This invention effectively solves the problem of easy ash accumulation and blockage on the tail heating surface of carbon black tail gas boilers, improves the corrosion condition of tail heat exchange tubes, increases the service life of low-temperature economizers and air preheaters, ensures the heat transfer efficiency of heat exchange tubes, reduces fan energy consumption, extends the stable operation cycle of boilers, reduces the frequency of shutdown for maintenance and ash cleaning, and provides users with higher quality and more reliable products.

The use of "first" and "second" in the description is merely for distinguishing technical features and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance, or implicitly indicating the number of indicated technical features, or implicitly indicating the order of the indicated technical features.

[0016] In the description of this invention, unless otherwise explicitly defined, terms such as "set up," "install," and "connect" should be interpreted broadly, and those skilled in the art can reasonably determine the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention in conjunction with the specific content of the technical solution.

[0017] Reference Figures 1-2 According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a gravity self-cleaning environmentally friendly structure for a carbon black tail gas boiler includes a low-temperature plate economizer 1, a connecting flue 2, and an air preheater 3. The connecting flue 2 is inverted U-shaped. The low-temperature plate economizer 1 and the air preheater 3 are connected by the inverted U-shaped connecting flue 2 to form relatively independent spaces. The low-temperature plate economizer 1 adopts a plate bare tube structure. The plate bare tube structure includes multiple heat exchange units. The heat exchange unit is composed of multiple rows of parallel serpentine tubes forming a tube screen. The tube screen is arranged in sequence and adopts a large pitch design. The pitch between the tube screens is 100mm.

[0018] Furthermore, the air preheater 3 is a horizontal air preheater, and the heat exchange tubes of the air preheater 3 are arranged in parallel, and the heat exchange tubes adopt a large pitch design, with a pitch of 80-90mm between the heat exchange tubes.

[0019] Furthermore, a slag discharge port is provided at the lower part of the inverted U-shaped connecting flue 2.

[0020] In this embodiment, the flue gas flowing through the low-temperature plate economizer 1 is the flue gas after being denitrified by the SCR denitrification device.

[0021] Working principle of the invention: After the flue gas passes through the SCR denitrification device, the generated ammonium sulfate and ammonium bisulfate will flow with the flue gas to the low-temperature economizer 1; The low-temperature economizer 1 abandoned the original spiral fin tube screen and adopted a plate-type bare tube structure. The original staggered arrangement was changed to a smooth arrangement, and the pitch between the tube screens was increased (100mm). The blockage will flow through the gap between the tubes (avoiding the blockage problem) into the inverted U-shaped connecting flue 2. The blockage is in the form of lumps, while the rest of the flue gas is floating ash. The two have different specific gravities. Under the influence of gravity and with a reasonable flue gas velocity, the blockage will gradually settle into the inverted U-shaped connecting flue duct 2. The lower part of the inverted U-shaped connecting flue duct 2 is equipped with a slag discharge port, through which the blockage can be cleaned. The floating ash will continue to move forward with the flue gas and flow to the air preheater. The air preheater 3 here also adopts a horizontal, parallel, large-pitch structure. Compared with the original vertical, staggered, flue gas pipe arrangement, it effectively solves the problem of air preheater blockage and ensures the normal operation of the tail heating surface.

[0022] This invention is applicable to the cleaning of the tail heating surface of carbon black tail gas boilers. It fully matches the characteristics of the flue gas, adjusts the reasonable structural form, and relies on the flushing of flue gas and the weight of the ash to achieve cleaning without the intervention of auxiliary equipment. Furthermore, when the boiler is running, the ash removal effect is better when combined with online shock wave, steam, and shock wave soot blowing. Among them, the low-temperature economizer 1 and the horizontal air preheater are connected by an inverted U-shaped connecting flue 2 to form a relatively independent space. This prevents the ash accumulated in the low-temperature economizer 1 from piling up on the air preheater 3 when it falls, thus preventing the air preheater 3 from becoming clogged. Moreover, the ash is removed in time through the ash discharge port at the bottom of the inverted U-shaped connecting flue 2, which greatly improves the ash accumulation condition of the air preheater 3.

[0023] This invention can solve the blockage problem caused by ammonium bisulfate adhering to the tubes of the low-temperature economizer 1 and the air preheater 3, extend the replacement cycle of the heat exchange tubes, and improve the service life of the air preheater 3; reduce the boiler downtime caused by blockage during non-maintenance periods, improve the economic benefits of enterprises, and save costs; in addition, this invention has a simple and reliable structure, is easy to operate, and is economical and practical.

[0024] Without causing conflict, those skilled in the art can freely combine and use the above-mentioned additional technical features.

[0025] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. Any technical solution that achieves the purpose of the present invention by essentially the same means is within the protection scope of the present invention.
